Marketing Application Publication Racor Contact: Rene Wiebe Phone: 662-216-0444 e-mail: rene.wiebe@parker.com Application Coal Mine Location: Columbia Product: FBO and RV Series Filters of cleaner and environmentally friendly production processes are on the rise. Therefore, the handling of diesel fuel for high power engines has driven companies to find engineering alternatives for one of the conditions that has a major influence in the cost of operating a coal mine: diesel fuel contaminated with solids, sediments and water diesel fuel. Five years ago, international companies (Drummond, BHP Billiton and Glencore) began the installation of Parker Racor hydrocarbon filters with the support of the local distributor, Full Filters de Colombia, with the purpose of cleaning the diesel fuel that they were buying from their providers. This program began with the installation of filtration systems from 100 to 1,000 gpm located in the fuel storage tank farm. Later, seeing the excellent results of the Parker Racor hydrocarbon filters, they decided to complete the installation with filtration systems for tank dispatch and diesel recirculation systems, achieving excellent results in their engine performance. The mining equipment used by these companies include: Caterpillar, off highway trucks 793C, 793D, 793B, 777C, 777D. Օ Caterpillar tractor type D11R, D10R. Hitachi Excavator 3500. Օ Komatsu excavator PC 8000, PC 4000. Caterpillar Motor graders 16H. Օ Hitachi EH 5000 off highway truck. Why was Racor chosen as the solution: Parker Racor hydrocarbon filters are being used to filter more than 12 million gallons of diesel fuel per month in the biggest sky-open coal mines in Latin-America. Located on the North coast of Colombia is one of the most important coal mines supporting the expanding Colombian economy.
